This was my first time here and it will not be the last! The cauliflower was amazing, the hummus was delicious, and the falafel (first time I've ever tried it) was incredible! I could've had my whole meal be just the appetizers and I would've been happy. The dinner came out and the rice was seasoned and tasted awesome! The chicken and lamb chops were *chef's kiss*. My favorite (aside from the falafel) was the Kafta. It's the first time I had it and my taste buds were blown away. Of course we had to end the meal with dessert (not much room left but we made it work) and the tuxedo mousse cake was made with so much love you could taste it in every bite. Not only was the food AMAZING, the staff were extremely friendly, they took the time to learn our names, very attentive, and made the whole experience that much better. The location is great and the entire vibe of the restaurant was relaxing. I will definitely be coming back very soon! read more

Took a random detour to Ameeras between Michigan and Dayton. Here's our take!! Service: awesome. Nick treats you like family. He even called me his cousin. Lol Food: Hummus - delicious taste, a bit thinner than other hummus we've had. But, when that homemade hot sauce is added I forgot my own name it was THAT good. Kibbie: well seasoned meat, the breading(?) was superb. It was not super crunchy. The breading element also individual bite was stellar! You guessed it, we dipped that baby in the hot sauce and the yogurt sauce. The appetizers were so good, we let Nick pick the entrees. I am pretty sure he gave us the chicken and beef sish kabobs. Chickens came with the garlic aoili type of dip (sauce?) on the side. You know I'm going to say it was amazing and delicious. Beef: this man cooked those tenderloin pieces better than MOST steakhouses. It was a perfect medium rare. You guessed it - it was delicious. Desserts (for take out lol) chocolate cake and grandmas rice pudding. Rice pudding: thick and creamy, not too sweet. Personally, think a few golden raisins would be fantastic in there. This doesn't seem to be in the menu. Maybe it's a special thing. Chocolate cake: this was the thing that slightly disappointed us. The taste was ok but it was dry. Now, he told us his cousin in Cleveland makes them for him. So it isn't like he can get a fresh one outta the kitchen everyday. So, I'd take one a bit on the drier side and have a milk chaser than commercial garbage. Do yourself and your taste buds a favor, stop in to see Nick. Tell him cousin Kerri from Dayton sent you. See ya next time cousin Nick!! read more

Ameera Mediterranean Restaurant - Lebanese Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

Delicious. The food was flavorful and fresh. Nick is super friendly. Just a great place.

Went with a group of friends on Friday evening. We had an awesome experience, shared some apps including the hummus, cauliflower and falafel- all 3 were great, especially the cauliflower. Then got the fattoush with Ameeras favorite and the pitza which were both solid- highly recommend the pitza. Next time I would just get the beef because it was that good, just melted in my mouth. Service was phenomenal, Nick and the waitress were so helpful and so nice! Can't wait to come back! My pictures aren't very good because we couldn't wait to start eating read more

The best Falafel in Toledo! The food is always fresh and delicious! Nick is so welcoming and accommodating! 10/10!

Food was amazing! Very hospitable establishment. You can tell they care about the people and their experience. Almost a lost art when dining these days. Highly recommend! read more

Great place to meet and eat. The owner is gracious and kind. Will make you feel special

Believed the hype in the reviews, but was underwhelmed with the actual food. It's always disheartening when I all i can hear is someone opening and closing a microwave in the area i assume is an"open kitchen " and yes everything tasted microwaved, including the meat. If you're going to use the microwave in an open kitchen set up, turn off the timer beep when food is finished read more

We got takeout from the spot while visiting Toledo Ohio. The manager that greeted me upon pick up was extra nice. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area looking for takeout read more

There are multiple reasons to patronize this establishment: 1) Ameera serves terrific Mediterranean fare. 2) The prices are fair. 3) The owner is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. 4) The owner is very service-oriented. This new Mediterranean restaurant is located in a small strip plaza south of the center of Sylvania near Lourdes campus. The storefront is not so hard to spot and the parking is ample. Nick, the owner, was the former proprietor for Aladdins. He just opened this place recently. On the weeknight that we visited, we were surprised to walk in and find that they were only accommodating takeaway orders. Nick said he did not have any help that night due to employees not wanting to work many hours because of COVID issues. We said we were really interested in eating out, and not taking something home. He then said, "Come on in. I'll open the dining room and wait on you." He turned on the lights, seated us, took our order and prepared the food. This was remarkable orientation toward customer service and satisfaction. It is not something you will often see, and it was an action that set Ameera apart from an ordinary restaurant in my opinion. We decided to try the Hummus Shawarma Plate and the Ameera Salad. He makes his own salad dressings and the Tomato Basil was outstanding. We had Arnold Palmers to drink (tea plus lemonade) which was a nice touch. We finished with two lovely pieces of Baklava. We were very happy with our meal and the service was the best we've had in a long time. Our final bill including food, drinks, tax and tip was $46. At $23 per person, this was a great value given the quality of the fare and the extraordinary service. We also had some food to take home for another meal. We will definitely be back to try this place again. read more

Absolutely incredible food with an extensive menu to choose from. Was quickly greeted and served by the owner, Nick who was extremely friendly and passionate about the food and customers having the best experience possible. Cute ambiance with ample seating in booth or table fashion. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a fun, delicious, and Mediterranean feast option in the Sylvania/Toledo, OH area. read more

10/15/21 Nick - man, tonight you did it all. And I literally mean it ALL. Host, waiter, chef, busperson and I assume later tonight, dishwasher. Staffing is so hard to come by these days and yet you take it in stride and give the best that you can offer to your patrons. You were gracious enough to allow my fiance' and I to dine in even though you were completely shorthanded. Tomorrow you have a luncheon party of 17 people!! And you'll handle it by yourself...all of it...again!! Most importantly, you do all of this with one of the best customer service oriented attitudes I have seen in a long time. Now, the food... The menu offers a very wide selection of both traditional and a few newer items (at least to me.) The presentation is excellent. Fresh, most homemade...heck, just go. You'll be pleased with anything you order. And if not, you're "too picky" and do not understand what it takes to run a small business and particularly a food service business. And do so with quality, service and great pricing. I'll definitely return!! read more

I had placed a take out order on a Friday evening around 5:15 pm. Which consented of one Dewail Rolled, Hummus Tabouli Rolled and a Ameras Favorite Combo. First and foremost all three were excellent and the right portions for each. I was given a 20 min wait for pickup and when I arrived it was ready. I will defiantly return to try other dishes. Sylvania, Ohio is fortunate enough to have some very good Mediterranean style establishments offering their own interpretations along with their family traditions. Ameera, should be on your list to enjoy some very good dishes with reasonable pricing. read more

Amazing food! Very impressed with everything we ordered. Beautifully cooked and presented. Would highly recommend! Get one of their giant pieces of cake for dessert- you won't be disappointed! read more

Ameera Mediterranean Restaurant - Cauliflower appetizer - Lebanese Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

On a business trip here, our hosts wisely picked this spot for dinner and I have to say it was the perfect pick. First thing was the owner welcoming us all... he's so warm and kind! Super attentive. We were welcomed with hummus and a selection of pickled veggies, both delicious. Then we had salad and the absolute BEST falafel I've ever had. They were light, and crisp and full of flavor. Finally we had a platter of flavorful grilled chicken (white and dark) and beef, as well as grilled lamb chops. All finger-licking! This food is the real deal Mediterranean food, tastes home made and fully authentic. The cherry on the cake was the baklava, which was home-made the same day. Beat I ever had. Service and attention by the owner was a treat and we all agreed everything we ate was absolutely amazing and top notch. Fully recommend it! PS: get the home made baklava and try the Lebanese wine read more

I was visiting Sylvania and craving for some healthy Mediterranean food. Found this place only had 5 star reviews and I was wondering why. Now I know. Owner Nick makes all the food fresh on the spot and their meat was so tender and perfect seasoned. I went in for lunch and came back for dinner because it was soo good. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. read more

Best mediterranean food in a town with good food of this type. Cauliflower appetizer phenomenal! It all was great! Owner is uber friendly and has a passion for his food! read more

The food is excellent! There were four of us and we all ordered different entrees for dinner and each one was delicious. The chef was greeting people at the door, taking orders, cooking food, and directing his server. This guy hustles! Stop by and give it a try. Great food! read more

Our all time favorite Mediterranean restaurant!!! Nick makes you feel like you have "come home"! The cauliflower appetizer is amazing!! Can't wait till our next visit!! read more

I have a lot of special dietary accommodations to consider (VG, GF, DF) and it is often tough to find a place where I can enjoy a meal with my family that doesn't leave me with a dry salad or nothing at all. Ameera's food is INCREDIBLE (I had the lentil soup and falafel with baba ganoush) and everyone left full and happy. The owner, Nick, even went out of his way to make my wrap when they usually don't for dinner (after I ordered it not knowing that). My kids got dessert and practically inhaled their giant slices of cake on the final two-hour leg of our trip down to Columbus. We are already talking about stopping in for lunch on our way back! I could not recommend this restaurant more! read more

Great food and very nice owner. Highly recommend. Had the hummus and veggies and it was delicious. Also recommend the Schwarma salad. There are many things on the menu I'd love to try. Will go back. read more

Food is authentic and delicious. The owner does it all and is a very friendly person. Nice experience both times we visited.

Great food, fresh ingredients, had the Ameera favorites combo and falafel, good price and value, would recommend, planning to return

Just off Main St at the end of a small strip mall you will find this unpretentious gem of a Lebanese restaurant. The ebullient owner and chef shared with us that since Covid-19, he has had great trouble finding servers, so he was waiting tables as well. This allowed us to learn more about the dishes we were trying, which were excellent. The dawalli (rice-stuffed grape leaves) were delicious and free of the saltiness and excess sourness that often mar this appetizer. The two chicken dishes were subtly spiced and properly cooked as well. I had a glass of Ksara reserve red wine that outshone many a more expensive merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Try the rice pudding for a nice light dessert, and one of the 30+ teas available ! read more

Highly recommend Ameerà Mediterranean Restaurant! The proprietor, kind-hearted Nick, welcomed us at the door as he saw that we needed help. We ordered a variety & loved every dish! Extensive menu that I'm positive I would appreciate every dish! Excellent Kafta & Shawarma-beef delightfully seasoned & chicken so tender. Cauliflower roasted to perfection & fresh salad with tasty house made dressings. If I lived in Toledo, I would be glad to work here to serve & learn how to cook such scrumptious food! read more

Ameera Mediterranean Restaurant - Chris & Holly Liechty look forward to bringing their adult children here! In for a treat, @girlnamedtom!!! - Lebanese Near Me - Sylvania, Ohio

Wonderful food and great service from what's typically a one-man show. But the menu prices don't reflect the correct pricing and we were not aware of that until we heard him tell another table. I realize that new menus would be expensive, but he could print out paper menus for cheap. That's what a lot of other restaurants are doing as their ingredient prices rise. Customers need full disclosure in terms of menu prices. read more

The food at Ameera Mediterranean Restaurant is fantastic. It's very fresh and prepared with care. Nick (the owner) works very hard to ensure you enjoy your meal and that it's cooked to your liking. We love the salads, pita rolls and hummus. If you like to kick things up, be sure to order the hot sauce. read more

This restaurant is kind of hidden in a strip mall on Main Street. The owner, Nick, unfortunately is a one-man show. Staffing in Toledo is difficult. The interior was cozy, narrow and clean. Our draw to try this type of restaurant, a favorite of mine, is the mediterranean spices of Lebanese cooking. In addition, Nick has a history of really great cooking in prior endeavors (Aladdin's, Bite Me Twice, etc.). His specialty is cauliflower which was quite good. The hummus/pita was excellent and the shish tawook rolled pita a little bland but good. My group also tried the pita pizza (which I will order the next time) and falafels (crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle). This place is well worth a try. read more

Hidden gem food is outstanding love the lamb chops. Owner is great with all customers. Place is clean good Lebanese beer. We drive from metro detroit for the whole package. read more

Ordered the Mediterranean lamb chops it was okay. Ended up getting food poisoning from it. Owner refused to make anything right or acknowledge the issue. I would not recommend coming here, or hopefully you have an iron stomach. read more

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANTS IN ALL OF TOLEDO!!!! We LOVE Ameera's and the owner Nick is the most personable and friendly guy you'll ever meet. His food is AWESOME! The rolled pitas are good and I like their hummus but their showstopper is the falafel. IT IS AMAZING. Seriously, the falafel is literally the best I have ever had!!! So crispy but still moist in the inside, it's cooked to perfection. If you want delicious food and that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you support an amazing small business owner, you have to have your next meal at Ameera's in Sylvania. read more

If you're in the Toledo/Sylvania area and want the best Lebanese food I've tasted in a long time, definitely visit Ameera. The food, actually, is one thing (I'll get to that in a sec), but Nick, the owner, is such a wonderful, warm and welcoming host! He greeted my parents and I like he'd been WAITing for us to show up on a Monday evening and sat us right down to a meal I've been needing (as a transplant to Lebanese-food-deprived Washington state, home for a quick visit) for what seems like years! What we had: Tabbouleh, the cauliflower appetizer that had me thinking about licking the plate, and some perfect hummus... AND... my mom and I both had pita wraps, which we split and traded: Me the Arayiss and her the Kafta. SO delicious and filling. My dad had Nick's mom's specialty (which may not be available every night, but how cool, right? Mama's specialty!), which was a potato and rice and beef dish that dad loved and couldn't finish (yay for lunch tomorrow for all of us!) Dad and I both had the Lebanese red wine (Sorry... don't know the name and it hardly matters: It was delicious with the meal.) And we had the mint tea... a whole pot between us... which perfectly complemented the baklava and tiramisu for dessert (I know... it was a LOT!) We all left happy and full and glad to have been able to get out tonight. What a treat! I asked Nick if he'd ever thought of franchising in the Pacific Northwest, but I may have to wait... Good thing I come home 2-3 times a year! Definitely will find time to come back on every visit. :) read more

Nick, the owner, makes almost everything from scratch. The hummus is the best in town.

I work in the same strip, so I frequent Ameera often during my lunchtime. I always get the Honey Dijon Roll, which is a delicious conglomeration of grilled chicken, tomato, and dijon mustard in a pita wrap. By far my favorite item from any restaurant I visit! There's a huge selection of hot teas and the iced tea is really good as well. I'm a huge fan. read more

As we walked in Nick welcomed us right away and made wonderful recommendations for the current customer favorite dishes. We had chicken thigh master salad and a falafel wrap. Both very delicious! It was our first time here and it won't be the last as new Sylvania residents. read more

The food is delicious. Best chicken I have had in a long time. The owner is gracious and accommodating. Will definitely go back.

Incredibly delicious food at a great price with a wonderful host. The service was phenomenal and I would highly recommend the falafel. Great options for people with a restricted diet. Will definitely be back again! read more

Best Mediterranean food, ever! The house made hot sauce for hummus was divine, lamb chops cooked and seasoned to perfection, and coconut cake melted in your mouth. Nick was fabulous-- he seemed to know everyone in the restaurant as if they were his family. Will definitely be back! read more
